    Cold Weather Travel

    We have sold our home in California and are moving to South Dakota. Does anyone have any experience of being on the road in cold weather with a BC? I have found videos on Youtube, but most were parked in one location, while we will be making our way on the road. Of most concern is preventing...

    I am getting ready to register my Big Country in South Dakota. I have been told I need the "Unloaded Vehicle Weight" documentation. Short of emptying it out and weighing it, how can I get this documentation? By that I mean something acceptable to the State of South Dakota. Any help would be...

    Leveler Breaker Size?

    I have the Lippert 6 point leveler. Had problems with it stalling and starting. Dealer said it was wired to the wrong sized breaker ( 30 amp) and was tripping and resetting. Makes sense. But what they did was install a new 80AMP Marine Breaker. I find it hard to believe that Heartland did...

    I have a 2015 BC. In the basement the batteries have a cover over them that requires removal for servicing the batteries. I have to completely disconnect the 12v cables to get enough play to get at the battery fill ports. If I am on Shore power ( 120v) am I able to disconnect the 12v cables...

    SOLVED: Missing Features (Remote). Is it common?

    My unit (3650 RL) was supposed to come with the wireless remote Control System. It even shows on the equipment list. Since I did not get a remote I asked the dealer to look into it while it was in their shop. We discovered my unit had not been wired at all for it, and was missing both the...
